In Monday's edition of the NEW YORK SUN, reporter Brian McGuire and contributor R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., break the first look at the long-anticipated report from Independent Counsel David Barrett, whose investigation lasted 10 year and cost taxpayers $23 million.
The SUN outlines the report's details surrounding the alleged illicit activity and cover up that involving former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Henry Cisneros before and during his time in the Clinton Administration.
The Sun reveals that the Barrett report connects the dots that allege that senior officials of the Clinton Administration hindered investigations by the IRS in both Texas and Washington, as well as the investigations of a grand jury examining the independent counsel's evidence.
The full report, more than 400 pages line, with more than 100 pages of redacted material, hits the street on Thursday morning at 9 am.
Democrats in the House and Senate have been fighting for months to block the release of the report and keep the 100 pages of highly damaging redacted material from ever seeing the light of day.

This source will hold up. The problem is the 100 pages of redacted material. Republican senators sold the farm and let the Dems get by wth blocking release of the part that damages the Clintons.
Well, I thank you for pointing out my inequities in post research. As I am sure you know, our crack administration staff will be johnny-on-the-spot about removing mine as soon as they finish with their beauty sleep :)
Seiously, I have been waching TV at my computer and reading FR for 3 hours wondering when the mod would get on the ball about this (I have chronic insomnia). The sidebar has the two articles listed one after another.
When the Senate booted their obligations in the impeachment trial I lost all confidence in our government's ability to police itself.
We saw what they did with campaign finance reform.
Watch what they'll do with lobbying reform.
This COULD be the upper cut punch that flattens the beast. Let's wait and see, but maybe, just maybe......
Why wouldn't the Clinton Machine IRS employees who knowingly attacked american citizens for political purposes be indicted? Seems like the First Amendment has been raped here!
